Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars clearly saw something nobody else did in DeMonte Capehart, taking him 72 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 17th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A wild overpay on Cooper Beebe in slot 79, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the 114th pick, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They went early on Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 16, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 James Williams
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at slot 155. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at the 195th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Value said wait; Jayson Jones in pick 237 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
